This document is a ‘translation’ of the Edexcel mark sheet for the NEA in Geography. In the first column is the top tier criteria for each section as it is on the official mark sheet. The middle column contains in student speak what should be included based on Edexcel training/webinars I have attended. In the last column is a checklist for each section and some top tips - again, this is based on training I have been on. I’m sure it’s not perfect but I worked my little socks off to make it.

This is a writing frame/template for a 6-mark Explain question for AQA GCSE Geography. I am trialling this with my GCSE students. It is probably not perfect but I’ve tried to break it down as much as possible for students struggling with longer answers and higher-order command words. This should be printed out on A3, folded in half to make an A4 booklet, with each page on one side. The format of how this works: pg1 - Walkthrough - I’ve really tried to take a step-by-step guide by using an example with different answers. It points out what’s good and what to improve on. pg2 - Template - This is where it’s more of a compartmentalised layout. Hopefully they can use this to visually see how their answer will look. pg3 - Exam Answer - so how they would see it in the exam pg4 - Improved answer - I’ve put on a levels table in student speak and hen you’ve marked it, they have to find evidence of what you mean and fill in last column. Then there is space for them to make improvements to ONE section of their answer. Thanks for looking and hope you found this useful to you and your students. Good luck with your results! I also have writing frames/templates for 9-mark Assess and Evaluate and 6-mark Assess. These also come as a bundle.

This is a lesson via powerpoint which explains a hot desert climate. This is a second lesson into deserts having done a general intro beforehand. You may wish to use the red Interactions book to support this lesson. The lesson starts with students describing the location and by the end they should be able to explain too. This powerpoint includes an excellent animation (which I cannot take credit for) which shows students the air flow around the Earth.

The first lesson of Enquiry Question 1 of the carbon and energy unit. In this, students learn the idea of what carbon is and what the carbon cycle is. There is some information in this lesson from the Hodder flag textbook. Recommended background reading (for teacher and students): http://jcourtneywhite.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/The_Story_of_Carbon.pdf Challenges the idea that carbon is seen as something ‘bad’ in the media when actually it’s very important!
